Noice, they are harvesting his organs right now.

Too bad, but the kid made the fatal error of pointing his BB gun at a armed SWAT officer.

Bingo. Or cap guns.
When they said "pellet" gun they were referring to plastic pellets which would be a toy.

Airsoft is probably what it was since they're so popular these days, but I think 95% of people over the age of 25 would understand pellet gun to mean a real pellet gun - the kind that shoots .177 caliber (or sometimes larger) lead pellets.
